Reply to "3 weeks post takedown - not emptying"

Do you have a NG tube in? If it were me, I’d ask for a rectal tube to drain you out from the bottom, and get on antibiotics (for me Levaquin and Flagyl). This happened to me post takedown and I wish I had this group back then. Once they drained me and after antibiotics, I cleared up. Very similar thing happened to me last week. I was scoped and through that drained out and the relief was great. Not to say this is what is going on with you, but this is a low risk way to confirm. Antibiotics and quick drain of your pouch. If you don’t have a NG tube and are not vomiting or going to the bathroom, then you have a lot of junk sitting in your body.
